The Crawford Falls Series by Kate Carley

Forget the corner office. Her view is spectacular. It’s about the only good thing Talia Callaway can say about her new employer, TAME Tech Solutions. When she’d first landed the job, she’d hoped for the perfect work environment. Upbeat. Fun. Maybe even exciting. Yes, exciting is exactly what she’d been looking for. Unfortunately, TAME isn’t. But her sexy new coworker definitely is. It’s his eyes—the most intriguing blue eyes she’s ever seen... moreForget the corner office. Her view is spectacular. It’s about the only good thing Talia Callaway can say about her new employer, TAME Tech Solutions. When she’d first landed the job, she’d hoped for the perfect work environment. Upbeat. Fun. Maybe even exciting. Yes, exciting is exactly what she’d been looking for. Unfortunately, TAME isn’t. But her sexy new coworker definitely is. It’s his eyes—the most intriguing blue eyes she’s ever seen. And they’re ringed with the thickest, darkest lashes. Seriously, she could gaze at him for hours and never grow bored—probably why her boss claims she’s been daydreaming. Talia prefers the word imagining. Like imagining what she’d see in those amazing Caribbean-blue pools if she were within kissing distance. Okay, she’ll admit it. The “view” might be causing her work to suffer. Then again, no woman in her right mind would blame Talia for her occasional mental detour into a fantasy world starring the incredibly handsome Grady McMahan. But when Grady asks Talia out for a private team-building event, things get steamy, transforming Talia’s fantasies into a wild new reality. less

Kelly’s back. How can two simple words make Dylan Bronstad’s heart ache and sing at the same time? Even seven years ago, Kelly Anne Leeson had possessed that power. Back then, all Dylan wanted to do was drink and make love to her.

Today, Dylan’s life is on track... moreKelly’s back. How can two simple words make Dylan Bronstad’s heart ache and sing at the same time? Even seven years ago, Kelly Anne Leeson had possessed that power. Back then, all Dylan wanted to do was drink and make love to her. Really, it was no wonder she’d climbed out of his bed and walked out of his life, leaving him with nothing but a nasty hangover and the lonely memories of their time together. Today, Dylan’s life is on track. He’s sober with the support of his family and his tight-knit group of friends. But Kelly could derail all he’s worked to accomplish. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to stay away from her. Lured by the offer of her dream job, Kelly returns home to Crawford Falls and the friends she’d abandoned a lifetime ago. Mending those broken relationships will require some honest answers and a fair amount of forgiveness. But facing Dylan will take a lot more—like maybe a suit of armor to protect her battle-weary heart and the secret she fears she’ll never be able to keep. While Kelly searches for a way to maintain the safe life she’s created for her son, Dylan works to remind her of the relationship they once had. Just as they rekindle their relationship, secrets and half-truths threaten to destroy everything. less
